MSNBC’s Dyson Implies Rachel Dolezal Is More Black Than Clarence Thomas
Newsbusters ^ | 16 Jun 2015 | Jeffery Meyer

Posted on 06/16/2015 10:42:25 AM PDT by tcrlaf

On Monday’s The Ed Show, Michael Eric Dyson, MSNBC Political Analyst and frequent guest host on the "Lean Forward" network, used the ongoing controversy surrounding Rachel Dolezal claiming to be African American to smear Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Speaking to Schultz, Dyson rushed to defend Dolezal from the criticism because she promotes the NAACP’s liberal agenda and argued that “a lot more black people would support Rachel Dolezal than would support say Clarence Thomas.”

After the MSNBC contributor argued that for those “who talk about race as a social construct, that’s it’s more complicated” because some say “Bill Clinton is the first black president though he didn’t claim to be black” Dyson smeared Clarence Thomas and argued that as a conservative African American he would have less African American support than Rachel Dolezal.

MASNBC has to support Dolezal because if they don’t they will look even more foolish when it is revealed that Melissa Harris-Perry is also a white leftist in minstrelsy.

“MSNBC’s Dyson Implies Rachel Dolezal Is More Black Than Clarence Thomas”

That’s only true if “more black” means “more stupid”.

Those of us who had thought about it (I had not) surely knew that was coming.

And there it is, straight from the horse’s mouth, and it’s what I’ve been saying all along, to liberals, “Black” isn’t about skin color, it’s about one’s politics. Therefore to them, a conservative Black, isn’t really “Black”, and a conservative woman isn’t really a “woman.”

So Black is just politics.

We have gone down the rabbit hole. Words mean whatever "they" want them to mean. Words can have a lot of meanings, or no meaning at all.

“The Invasion Of The Body Snatchers” has already come to pass.

Conservatives are the only survivors.

So is it a social construct or is it in the genes?
A: whatever it needs to be at the moment for maximum benefit to the leftist cause.

Man’s right. “black” is not a color. It’s a social construct. Black people play black. So can white people. Any real American is comfortable in his skin and doesn’t judge other people by their pigmentation. Their color, gender, what have you, is part of who they are, but they and everybody else are persons. And, at least as far as Christians are concern, made in the image of God.

Is there a word to describe such backward Martin Luther King?

Yes, I believe there is. “Obama”

Great!

He just admitted a truth, inadvertently.

“Black” is a political construct.

Black is a subculture, not skin color. Clarence Thomas does not subscribe to the “Black Subculture”, therefore he is not Black, in liberals’ eyes.

“Bill Clinton is the first black president though he didn’t claim to be black”

Blacks are the ones who came up with that tripe.

“Black” is a political construct.

That means that, by extension, so is "racism".

I would assert that it’s more of an ANTI-culture than a “sub”culture.

It’s a “culture” that is promoted as a foil to Christian culture.
It’s a weapon promoted by the left to destroy the value system they despise.

Spot on.

And all of this brouhaha about the war on women and minorities is all political BS. Of course, we knew that all along but the truth has finally come out.

Well isn't the the point of the left and "Black"....”Black” is not a race.. its not even an experience.. "Black" is now a trademarked and copyrighted leftwing political agenda

Just so. It essentially turns Martin Luther King's statement inside-out:

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Dyson is saying that Rachel Dolezal should be judged not by the color of her skin, but by the content (that is, the leftist content) of her character.

Therefore, Clarence Thomas, who in Dyson's eyes has the "wrong" character, is judged to be less black.
